Rules of Golf

We play the game of golf for fun, but we often are caught not
knowing exactly what the rule is to cover a given situation.Some
areas might include hitting into a water hazard, lost ball, and
taking relief.

Your webmaster will be posting rules here from time to time.
These are not intended to penalize Foon Hay members, but rather
to encourage us all to abide by the official rules of golf. Most
of the tournaments we play will be "stroke play" meaning that we
are not playing "match play" where one player competes against
another on a hole-by-hole basis.

I found a neat little book that you might be interested in.
It's called "Do I Get a Drop?" Information can be found at the
website www.doigetadrop.com.
It can be purchased from amazon.com.
Just put the title into the search box. The cost is about $10
for the book and it may help to take uncertainty out of your
play.

Finally, here are two web sites that discuss the rules of golf.
I encourage you to use them as well as read the USGA rules book
from time to time to refresh your memory. Good golf!
